Some researchers from the University of
Massachusetts managed to
find a "tick"
(bugs) that infects the default browser
on the Samsung Galaxy S III.
This bug was allegedly able to make users pay a higher toll than usual.
According
to the researchers consisting
of Emmanuel Cecchet, Robert
Sims, Xin
He, and Prashant Shenoy this bug makes
the browser download the
picture a lot more than it should and also increase the processing time of a page. Both of these
make the necessary Internet bandwidth rise.
They
found the bug while
testing the benchmark
application Quality of
Experience (QoE)
to be shown the results
at the IEEE Symposium in Montreal, Canada,
Sunday.
"Currently
we produce results on multiple
devices and networks
to trace Wikipedia, we realized significantly higher latency for smart phones Samsung S3, both WiFi and
3G networks,"
the researchers wrote, as quoted from Phone Arena, Wednesday (5 /
6/2013).
The cause of this problem,
according to the researchers quartet,
is srcset HTML that allows mobile devices to download the image with the right size for a device.
At Galaxy S3 device itself,
HTML srcset downloaded all the images that
produce a longer load
time and of course the use of larger data packets.
Even so, this problem does not seem to have an impact on all the products because srcset being drafted (draft) and is not used
in all products.
Do
not want to hit
this bug,
you should use a browser
other than the default
Android browser, such as Chrome and Firefox.
